The fastest way for lose liberties is for terrorism to prevail. The Patriot Act is not a threat to liberties, terrorism is. If the Patriot Act prevents terrorism, it is protecting liberties, not threatening them.

I really wonder about some of the people here sometimes.

They are unaware of the loss of liberties in the UK because of IRA successes.

They complain about an alleged loss of liberties but are ignorant of the real liberties that were lost in WW2 and the Civil War. There is no historical comparison between the inconveniences today and the loss of liberties in WW2 and Civil War. Yet, they whine.

It's like: "If I can't have a machine gun, then I'm gonna vote for a Democrat who will take away everybody's guns. So there!"

That'll learn'em!
